NYT’s July 28/13 FYI: I did check today and the two quoted paragraphs are still as they were on Sunday

“One site the investigators hoped to visit was Khan al-Assal, a town west of Aleppo where both the government and the rebels reported a deadly chemical weapons attack in March, with each side accusing the other.

Visiting the site could prove difficult because rebel fighters took it over on Friday, reportedly killing about 150 soldiers. The Syrian Observatory, which sympathizes with the opposition, said about one-third of them were executed by an extremist rebel brigade after surrendering”

Syrian state media accused insurgents on Saturday of killing 123 people, the majority of them civilians, during a rebel offensive this week to take the northern town of Khan al-Assad.

The rebels did kill many and proudly posted their slaughter on line, with their ‘Internet in a suitcase” provided by them from the good ol’ US of A and co. Including Israel.

How very convenient. For NATO, that is. Now UN inspectors will have no one to question.
NO way to get to the truth. This siege and slaughter by the NATO Islamist Army guaranteed NATO’s crime would stay hidden from the light of day. However, you and I do not need any stinkin’ UN inspectors to inform us that it was NATO’s proxies that used the chemical weapons.

Flashback: I had covered the Khan al Assal chemical attacks in a couple of posts earlier this yearApril 2013 and March 2013

The terrorists wore a significant portion of uniform “clothing signs” such as red headbands and grey uniforms.

Example of identifying headbands

This suggests that these terrorists were obviously freshly put together in advance and intentionally for the attack against Khan al-Assal, and that it were terrorist units, which were equipped by the NATO country Turkey.

Uninformed readers had been suggested in terms of the motive of the attack that by the successful attack against Khan al-Assal the terrorist groups would have achieved an important strategically goal – namely the cut off of the supply route of the Syrian army over the highway from Hama to Aleppo.

However, this is utter nonsense, because the supply route of the Syrian army from Hama to Aleppo, as it is commonly known, does not proceed through Khan al-Assal, but through Salamiyah and Khanasser.

From a military-strategic point of view, seen from the view of the terrorists, the conquest of Khan al-Assal was practically useless

Syria’s UN Ambassador Bashar Jaafari has now, according to Ria Novosti, alerted about a completely different context, namely, that among the by the terrorists massacred persons in Khan al-Assal were numerous witnesses for the chemical weapons attack of the terrorists against Khan al-Assal in March this year.

Therefore, the motif for both, the alleged senseless assault on Khan al-Assal and for the massacre of the prisoners is it to finally muzzle (silence) the witnesses of the chemical weapons attack by the terrorist friends of the NATO-led “Western community of values” on Syrian civilians and soldiers in March 2013 and to remove forensic traces in the area of Khan al-Assal.

Syrian rebel leaders have met for the first time with the United Nations Security Council to discuss the country's two-year civil war.

They said they were prepared to take part in peace talks if the regime of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad agreed to a political transition, and they appealed to the Russians to end their supply of arms.

Israel's navy is installing the Barak-8 air-defense missile system aboard its combat vessels to protect against Syria's new supersonic Russian-built Yakhont anti-ship missiles, which the Jewish state views as a potent threat to its long-held naval supremacy in the eastern Mediterranean.

The Barak-8, effective against anti-ship missiles, supersonic cruise missiles, manned aircraft and drones, is integrated with the ELM-2248 MF-STAR shipborne phased array radar system built by IAI subsidiary Elta.

The Israeli media reports that the Barak-8 is expected to be operational aboard the navy's three Haifa-built Sa'ar-5 missile ships within the next 3-4 months.

These are the navy's largest surface warships. It's not clear whether its eight Saar-4.5 and two Saar-4 corvettes will also be equipped with the Barak-8 system.

The Russians began delivering the Yakhonts to Syria in December 2011 under 2007 contract valued at $300 million.

Moscow provided the Syrian regime with two Bastion coastal missile systems, comprising 18 mobile launchers and an estimated 72 of the missiles that have a maximum speed of Mach 2, twice the speed of sound, a range of 187 miles and carry a warhead containing 440 pounds of high explosives.

The provision of such weapons to the Damascus regime was widely seen as a Russian warning to the United States and Israel not to interfere in the Syrian conflict.

And they call war making "war games" and use the term "war theatre"
War is not a game and it is not theatre! The psychopathic elites try to sucker the masses into buying this evil, hiding the vileness behind innocuous words and phrases. Sick.

I feel this is a post that is overdue. In a perfect world this would have been up on Monday or Tuesday at the latest. But then, this is not a perfect world and time is not always on my side.

Let’s talk prison breaks.

Because prisoners are breaking out all over the place. The common denominator in all the prison breaks is NATO backed Islamists are being set free by other NATO backed Islamists.
This should be a clear sign that NATO is set to expand the war. I first broached this theme in a post on July 23/13War against Iran, Iraq and Syria?

We will briefly look at the jailbreaks.

Iraq rehashed:

At that time the Iraq prison break took place it appeared clear that NATO was freeing up their Islamist army to create all out war in Syria, Iran and in Iraq. Thousands of prisoners freed, including no doubt many if not all AQ fighters. Right after the Iraqi prison break there was a mass jailbreak in Libya.Yes, another preplanned jailbreak. Same as in Iraq. And same as in Pakistan!Libya:Over 1,000 inmates escaped from Libyan prison in mass jailbreak, officials say

Gunmen outside of the prison fired into the air as inmates inside began setting fires, suggesting the jailbreak was preplanned, a Benghazi-based security official said. Those who escaped either face or were convicted of serious charges, a security official at al-Kweifiya prison said.

The numbers ran as high as 1200 escapees. No doubt we have some inmates
that are not AQ, but, there are bound to be several hundred freed
inmates that were.

Immediately preceeding the Libyan jailbreak which had followed hot on the heels of the Iraq prison break, TTP militants initiate a jailbreak in Pakistan. TTP is just another brand name the NATO Islamist army fights under. The attack in Pakistan was yet another well prepared and carefully executed plan. The TTP shot out electrical transformers plunging the area into darkness. They were armed to the teeth and knew where the people were they wanted to free

3 well planned jail breaks take place in a weeks time, in 3 nations that are heavily infiltrated with NATO’s Islamists. 3 nations destabilized or in the process of being further destabilized by the NATO global army.

The jail breaks are not happenstance

This article is spinning ‘global jihad’ very NATO news like. I will quote the important bits

This jailbreak (Pakistan) cannot be looked as a separate incident of terrorism. Rather it is a part of global terrorism (aka NATO global terrorism) as this event has the same strategy, footwork, and modus operandi (method of operation) of what we have seen at the Abu Ghraib prison break and Benghazi jail break this week.

Now freed terrorists have the option to leave for Syria to fight along with anti-Syrian government forces, or move to Afghanistan to fight against the Karzai government, or stay in Pakistan and spread terror everywhere they wish to.

Does that work out well for NATO or what?! If you don’t follow, go back to my post from more then a week ago, linked at the beginning of this latest.

Let’s expand our ‘global jihad’ meme a bit further to a topic that has been touched upon a few times here

That would be the impending moves on Russia via an increase in destabilization techniques as we have seen demonstrated via Egypt, Libya & Syria. Keeping in mind that in all reality the destabilization situation has already been on going for decades in Russia. Though, it has been a bit sort of quiet as of recent, but, that will be being stepped up soon enough.

Anonymous, who left a bunch of links yesterday had wondered if Dokku Umarov, who had previously put in place a ‘ceasefire’ on attacking Russia, but, was now going to back away from that so called cessation of operations and ramp up attacks just in time for the Sochi Olympics needed his Chechen brigades back on home turf ????
This line of thought cannot be discounted.

By all accounts the three most recent jailbreaks have let loose thousands of additional NATO Islamist fighters, going by varying brand names, but all basically fighting covertly under the guidance and directive of NATO.Might some of the recently freed fighters make their way to Chechnya?Might some of the Chechen fighters who are presently fighting in Syria now be free to make their way back to Chechnya to strike at Russia just in time for the Sochi Olympic spectacle?Quite possible!After all Sochi is just months away.

Some observers have voiced concern that militants from the Caucasus who
joined the Syrian rebels could try to take revenge against Russia for
its support of Assad and try to strike 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi

“These people go there and they will come back tomorrow with the backing
of international extremist and terrorist organizations,” Abdulatipov
said during a meeting with local officials Friday.

Perhaps the conveniently timed prison breaks serve in more ways then one to spread the global war of terror?

Fukushima radiation millions of times over safe limit- WSJ reported the other day....The radiation is millions of times higher than Japan's acceptable limit under normal circumstances.

Radiation of 750 million becquerels a liter of cesium-134 and 1.6 billion becquerels a liter of cesium-137 was recorded, Tepco said. The normal limits for the two potentially harmful isotopes are 60 and 90 becquerels, respectively. In April 2011 a combined 1.8 billion becquerels was recorded.

"The level of radioactivity is potentially serious but the impact would depend on where it is found," a Tepco official said

Potentially serious? Who is the Tepco official kidding. We are two years and 5months into this catastrophic global disaster. Unprecedented in scale. 3, yes 3 nuclear reactors in meltdown from day one.

TEPCO detected 8.7 million becquerels of tritium per liter in water taken on Friday from a cable trench running under the turbine building of the No. 2 reactor, about some 50 meters from the Pacific Ocean.

Since the incident TEPCO has been pouring water over the damaged complex reactors to cool them for more than two years,(unsuccesfully) still contaminated water has been building up at the rate of an Olympic-size swimming pool each week since then. Three months ago TEPCO stated that the space to store the irradiated water was limited and asked for government approval to shift groundwater with “low levels of radiation” from the stricken facility to the Pacific via a "bypass."

The water has already been pouring in the sea

Japan’s Nuclear Regulation Authority head Shunichi Tanaka cautiously told journalists, that he believed that the maritime leakages since Fukushima were ongoing, stating, "I think contamination of the sea is continuing to a greater or lesser extent. It was contaminated at the time of the accident, but I think it has been continuing for the last two years.

For very nearly 880 days now contaminated water has been pouring into the Pacific.
What is in the water is in the soil

The publication reported
that University of Tokyo associate professor Ryoji Enomoto found moss
with 1.7 million becquerels just over 50 kilometres from a crippled
nuclear-power plant.

Where is the media on all this? How about the political class? The UN? All of them largely deadly silent.Where are all the pseudo environmental groups? Paying lip service, but, not much elseVery similar to the co-opted human rights groups. You know the ones that condemn in lock step with the NATO agenda? But, stay almost silent on the NATO global killing spree. I say almost silent, because groups such as HRW make just enough noise to maintain a semblance of credibility to those that don’t really pay attention.

All these global players have a vested interest in not wanting to bring attention to the global catastrophe that is Fukushima. It would interfere with their ‘man made global warming’ fear campaign and push to create their global control grid, while imprisoning humanity in open air prisons.

UPDATE AT BOTTOM! As of this moment, I find this quite dubious.
And, am looking for more info on this most recent alleged Israeli airstrike.
The story comes via Israeli media from opposition sources.
Very questionable sourcing, indeed! Report: Israel Bombs Another Syrian Weapons Convoy

Israeli air force jets bombed trucks
carrying Syrian missiles bound for Hizbullah's warehouses in Lebanon,
according to Syrian opposition sources. The sources, were cited Sunday
by Voice of Israel radio's Arabic-language service, which was quoted by i24 News.

The Friday night bombing reportedly targeted a Syrian military base
near the town of Quneitra, not far from the Golan Heights cease-fire
line.

Much has been ongoing at Quneitra, not far from the Golan Heights cease fire line.....

This was the (alleged) fifth known Israeli attack this year on Syrian weapons
bound for Hizbullah. Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad reportedly wants
to send the weapons to Hizbullah for safekeeping, out of fears they will
fall into the hands of the rebels forces fighting him inside Syria,
whilst the Iranian-backed terrorist group seeks "game changing weapons" -
such as anti-aircraft missiles - in exchange for its costly
intervention in the Syrian civil war on behalf of the Syrian regime.

The article goes continues on with the alleged Lattakia strike, one that I have some serious doubts about as discussed in this post:

I am not putting this news up because of concern for Anthony Weiner. What this article shows, clearly, is that the NATO/corporate controlled western media is always on message for the imperial war/destabilization agenda. While Weiner is chastized, as he should be. Navalny is lionized and he should not be. What is the difference? Only the political agenda.

The indiscretion of Anthony Weiner, former US Congressman, on the other hand, stemmed from a compulsive weakness for what Americans call “Online sex” – sending lewd selfies (pictures of oneself) to women he got acquainted with on the Internet.

Unlike Navalny’s theft of state property, Weiner’s act was a private affair. Yet, there has been an avalanche of criticism about Weiner and editorials and national leaders in the US have urged him to drop out of the mayoral race following the tawdry revelations about his escapades last week.

In comparison, all the animated discussions in Russia about Navalny bypass the core issue, namely, he has a record of embezzlement of public property and, therefore, ineligible to hold office. Ironically, it is on the issue of corruption that Navalny built up his strange career in the blogosphere from where he tiptoed into politics with magical ease.

It is even bigger hypocrisy that the American commentators apply to him an entirely different yardstick when their peer group back home would cast Weiner as the original sinner. To be sure, the strange case of Navalny raises some big issues.

He (Navalny) went to Yale under an American scholarship and returned to Russia as a freshly-minted public crusader – telegenic, English-speaking and audacious. But does that absolve him of a criminal past? This is one thing.

The independent pollsters put Navalny’s rating as somewhere around 15 percent, which won’t stop incumbent mayor Sergei Sobyanin from winning outright in the first round. The polls show that the people’s distrust about Navalny is only growing and they feel troubled not only by his shady past but also by his brand of Russian nationalism that pits Russia against Muslim Central Asia.

Despite the West lionizing him, Navalny looks less and less convincing as a leader of a coherent opposition. And it raises a question: Is Navalny an individual or is he a project? There is something sinister going on.

Why else should the National Endowment for Democracy [NED] sponsor a 22-year old Russian young thing, Vera Kichanova, to visit the White House in Washington last week as “one of the faces of the new generation of political opposition in Russia.” Ever heard of Vera?

I've never heard of Vera Kichanova?

The NED, which specializes in staging ‘colour revolutions’ in the former Soviet republics, acted as recruiting agency, while Vera’s appointments in Washington, DC, included Susan Rice, US national security advisor, Samantha Power, US ambassador to the United Nations, et al and the high officials at the White House and the State Department were eager to pick Vera’s mind about “what the US can do to help promote reform in Russia.”

Wow, this Vera Kichanova must be something 'special'? Has anyone else heard of or know anything about this individual?

The spirited Vera promptly suggested to the Obama administration to expand the Magnitsky List “to include others, like the people responsible for the arrests of protestors on Bolotnaya Square [in Moscow in May 2012].”

That’s an interesting suggestion from the 22 year old Vera, no?

The real reason behind such manifestly anti-Putin frenzy in the US needs to be understood. Gangster capitalism began in Boris Yeltsin’s time. It was Yeltsin who destroyed in 1993 the nearest thing Russia ever got as a parliament by ordering tanks to fire shells on its White House home. Yeltsin nonetheless enjoyed a good press in the West. There were no Veras hanging around Bill Clinton’s White House. Why so?

There were two reasons. One, the only alternative to Yeltsin was the Russian communist party, whose return to power was unthinkable for Washington, which, therefore, duly ensured Yeltsin won the 1996 election. The second reason was that a huge transfer of wealth was taking place from Russia, thanks to the bizarre situation in Russia.

On the other hand, the post-Yeltsin Russian political system proved “non-cooperative”. Vladimir Putin is an immensely popular national leader and doesn’t need the US’ support for political survival, thanks to his assertive international stance and his relatively successful economic policy, which saw a higher trajectory of growth, drop in unemployment and rise in real wages.

Obviously, it meant that the sort of dizzying levels of influence that Washington held over Yeltsin’s Russia has become a thing of the past. And,the sort of “business opportunity” to fish prize specimens from the muddy pool of Russian economy no longer exists as in those halcyon days of the nineties.

In other word's Putin does not need Washington to stay in his leadership role in Russia

The real idea behind building up the Navalnys and Veras is to get under the skin of the Russian political establishment...................

I can’t disagree with that. And would take it a step further and throw Snowden into the whole attempt at ‘getting under the skin’ of the Russian political establishment.

Friday, July 26, 2013

Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. said in a letter sent to the Russian minister of justice this week that the United States would not seek the death penalty against Edward J. Snowden

The letter also offered reassurances that the United States would not torture Mr. Snowden

What does this letter from Eric Holder say to the reader and the entire world about the US?
As a nation? As an ideal? As a self proclaimed bringer of democracy?
A beacon of human rights the world over?
Having a ‘Responsibility to Protect”? (R2P)

And doesn’t Assad have to go because his regime ‘tortures’?. Much of it on behalf of the US when they tried to toady up to the US in the past. But now that all the knives are out for Assad and Syria is to be destroyed, now, torture is bad in the opinion of the US. Obama says Assad using ‘torture, corruption and terror’
Except when done to Gaddaffi, by the NATO Islamist army, then it is a 'warning to others"?

The US tortures and likes torture when it is undertaken to advance their agenda. Other then that it is bad.
And the US wields the death penalty like the Grim Reaper wields a sickle.

“We believe these assurances eliminate these asserted grounds for Mr. Snowden’s claim that he should be treated as a refugee or granted asylum, temporary or otherwise,” Mr. Holder said in the letter, which was sent to Justice Minister Aleksandr V. Konovalov.

Yes, that’s right. The letter is written to alleged human rights abuser par excellence, according to the US, that is. The letter is written To Russia’s Justice Minister.

Unbelievable hubris

The US is a country that kills on a massive scale, from it’s inception to it’s present day
And it tortures. If the US does not torture individuals itself, in it’s extensive prison system, foreign and domestic. It 'encourages' many other nations to do the dirty deeds on their behalf.
This disconnect between reality and illusion results in delusion.

A copy of the letter was provided to The New York Times on Friday by a Justice Department official, in response to questions about communications between the United States and Russian governments about Mr. Snowden’s fate.

The charges Mr. Snowden faces in the United States do not carry the death penalty, the letter said, adding that the United States would not seek the death penalty “even if Mr. Snowden were charged with additional death penalty-eligible crimes.

What does that quoted section really mean?““even if Mr. Snowden were charged with additional death penalty-eligible crimes”
Being charged means nothing. It is being convicted that counts So is the US implying they would resort to some sort of kangaroo court to deal with Snowden?

Perhaps, Snowden can be tried in the Court of King Obama, Nobel Peace Prize winner..

Let’s look at some of the “goings on” with Israel and the areas surrounding Israel
Or the areas surrounding Israel, that Israel is affecting? Effecting? Infecting?
Whichever, matters not to me. They all apply in some way.
Going long, but, worth the time!

Israel
First a blast from the past. A woman discussed at this blog more then once.

Her psy-op narrative was created to appeal to the strident feminist. She is the feminist “hero” archetype. To hell with family.Those ties just hold a woman down! She is woman.Hear her roar! ROAR!As was very, very, obvious at the time, she was yet another fraud presented by the NATO media. Thanks to freethinker for bringing this revelation to my attention. Exposing the fraud. And giving me yet another gold star! And a big smile to boot! Because dam we nailed it!

Give yourself a gold star. Good to see her exposed as the Israeli plant we knew she was.

This woman was supposed to be one Thwaiba Kanafani, a mother of two, who up and left her children and husband for jihad in Syria. Information in previous posts and lots of it.
Her bio came from Linkedin, right after Linkedin had been hacked. Which tells us her phony bio was planted during the hacking. Along with other phony bios no doubt.

If there was a real and true diplomatic freeze (think sanctions etc.,) then there would be NO ‘virtual embassy. This narrative is promoted to create a perception of continuing discord between the GCC and Israel when there actually is NO discord. The virtual embassy only serves to hide the collusion between Israel and the GCC nations from their domestic populace.

Israel has opened a “virtual embassy” to reach out to the citizens of
the Gulf, where clandestine business ties between the Jewish state and
the six members of the Gulf Co-operation Council have emerged over the
past decade despite the absence of diplomatic relations.

Clearly if there are business ties and "Israeli exports to the GCC are now worth about $500m per year"
there is no absence of 'diplomatic relations' All those exports indicate there is all manner of relations ongoing diplomatic and otherwise.

In reality, the arsenal was attacked from the ground. No aircraft or submarine were ever involved. It can only be asserted that the arsenal was attacked and partially destroyed by unidentified commandos.

You decide.

And the piece de resistance in Israeli spin. The meme of all memes for the Israeli stateNAZI- Holocaust and Syria? Say, what?

Yes, I am serious. Can the timing of this non credible nonsensical opinion piece be any more obvious?
You just have to know Syria is bad because...NAZI
Don't think about anything thing else. It doesn't matter. NAZI
You are now supposed to lose all rationality and react in rage and loathing for Syria. NAZI.
Just how absurd is this article? You can't make better bullshit up if you were a bull full of shit. Seriously.
Generally I don't use profanity. But this Foreign Policy piece is so absurd. So outrageous and so stupid, I can't help it.

But the number one most-wanted, potentially-still-alive Nazi
war criminal on the list is suspected to be in Damascus

Potentially still alive?! Not bloody likely! "Alois Brunner, born in 1912"
Making the number one potentially still alive NAZI, dead. Or 101 years old!!
Which means, he is dead.
Simon Weisenthal Centre claims Alois was "last spotted in
2001"
When he was a spry 88 years old?
This stuff is tired. It's past its due date.
The only reason it's here is to point out the obvious propaganda in this theme. The reinforcement through repetition. And to make clear it is time to stop reacting and start thinking rationally

With little argument, the House of Representatives approved measures
Wednesday that would prevent the Obama administration from spending
money on U.S. military operations in Syria without consulting Congress
and would forbid funding U.S. military or paramilitary operations in
Egypt.

Good Cop/Bad Cop? Perhaps an American citizen can explain the significance if any?
It would seem to me Congress would rubber stamp anything

On June 12, 2013 a group of Kuwaiti Wahhabi (Salafi) terrorists
attacked barbarically Hatla, a small town in Der Ezzor countryside,
north of Syria and committed one of the most heinous crimes against the
town’s residents, most of which were women and children including a top
Shiite cleric with his family.

A leading Wahhabi cleric in Kuwait
took a group of his fanatics and protested in front of the Lebanese
embassy bragging about the crime and confessing to the slaughtering of
the civilians especially the cleric and his young son.

Shafi
Ajami, the Wahhabi cleric received the details of the massacre, he
claimed responsibility to, order from his cousin Saud Fayez Al-Houeila
Al-Ajami who was leading the attacking herds of terrorists

Yesterday, July 24, 2013,
social media sites promoting Al-Qaeda & Wahhabism mourned the
killing of Saud Fayez Al-Houeila Al-Ajami along with 30 of his mostly
Kuwaiti followers from the FSA, the Free From Syrians Army, near Idleb,
north west of Syria by SAA, the Syrian Arab Army

The killed terrorist was the head of Qumam Health Institute in Kuwait,
the Wahhabi sites mourning him were proud of his financing of the
terrorists in Syria, recruiting radical terrorists from all countries to
operate in Syria under the FSA umbrella and its Nusra Front branch.

A senior member of Mursi's Muslim Brotherhood movement, Essam El-Erian, said Sisi's appeal represented a threat, adding that it would not halt Islamist protests urging the immediate restoration of the president. "Your threat will not prevent millions from continuing to gather," Erian wrote on Facebook.

El-Erian says Sisi’s appeal represents a threat. Which, of course, it does.
No doubt the Egyptian military is taking their NATO orders to stir up the populace. Create the conditions for civil war...... then Israel will simply have to move on the Sinai

I encourage the Egyptian people to not take the bait. Don’t allow the elite psycho’s to play you to your own demise and the ruin of your home.

There you are all done! It wasn't to bad, was it?Don't miss today's first post.

Anonymous left a Pipelinestan piece from Pepe Escobar @ AT:
Thanks, it works very well with the pieces I already had set aside for today's post.
So......here we go

Picture Iraqi Oil Minister Abdelkarim al-Luaybi, Syrian Oil Minister Sufian Allaw, and the current Iranian caretaker Oil Minister Mohammad Aliabadi getting together in the port of Assalouyeh, southern Iran, to to sign a memorandum of understanding for the construction of the Iran-Iraq-Syria gas pipeline, no less.

Pipelinestan is one of the fundamental reasons (but,not the only reason) for the proxy war in Syria. Against the interests of Washington (and Israel), for whom integrating Iran is anathema, the pipeline bypasses two crucial foreign actors in Syria - prime "rebel" weaponizer Qatar (as a gas producer) and logistical "rebel" supporter Turkey (as the self-described privileged energy crossroads between East and West).

The US$10 billion, 6,000 kilometer pipeline is set to start in Iran's South Pars gas field (the largest in the world, shared with Qatar), and run via Iraq, Syria and ultimately to Lebanon. Then it could go under the Mediterranean to Greece and beyond; be linked to the Arab gas pipeline; or both.

Before the end of August, three working groups will be discussing the complex technical, financial and legal aspects involved. Once finance is secured - and that's far from certain, considering the proxy war in Syria - the pipeline could be online by 2018. Tehran hopes that the final agreement will be signed before the end of the year.

Europeans - who endlessly carp about being hostages of Gazprom - should be rejoicing. Instead, once again they shot themselves in their Bally-clad feet.

Pepe touches on this development in his piece: "Round up all the Prada jihadis"

Well, that is one brand name choice..Designer jihadis- Jihadis by design

The European Union decided to act; meekly bowing to US and Israel pressure, the EU - itself pressured by the UK and the Netherlands - blacklisted the armed wing of Hezbollah as a terrorist organization.

Pepe continues along, well within the lines of acceptable discourse. That being controlled discourse

“As a graphic illustration of utter EU cluelessness - some might say stupidity - Britain, the Netherlands and France, especially, followed by the others, have just branded the organization that is fighting jihadis on the ground in Syria/Lebanon "terrorists", while the jihadis themselves get away with it. So much for European ignorance/arrogance”

It is not utter stupidity, nor is it ignorance/arrogance, that the EU branded the organization fighting jihadis on the ground in Lebanon and Syria. It is intentional and falls well within the NATO led agenda to prevent legitimate state affiliated entities from fighting NATO’s Islamist Army in nations that are on the NATO destroy list. The decision is in fact rational, well thought out and follows along the lines of the global order/world army agenda of NATO. But, then Pepe gets paid and I don’t. So he won’t dare to say that.

So what's next? It's not far-fetched to imagine the EU totally forgetting about a pipeline that will ultimately benefit its citizens and issuing - under US pressure - a directive branding Iran-Iraq-Syria as a terrorist axis; lobbying for a no-fly zone applying to all; and recruiting jihadis all over for a Holy War against the axis,( see break out news from Iraq. All NATO Islamist Army fighters- AQ) supported by a fatwa issued by Sheikh Yusuf al-Qaradawi.

Quoting from AQ jailbreak article "The carefully orchestrated late-night attacks killed dozens Sunday, including at least 25 members of the Iraqi security forces.

The prisons in Abu Ghraib and Taji house thousands of prisoners, including convicted al-Qaeda militants. Exactly one year ago, al-Qaeda’s Iraq arm launched a campaign called “Breaking the Walls” that made freeing its imprisoned members a top priority.

Looks like the recruitment is already in play! No it is not far fetched to imagine the EU going along to get along.

The House and Senate intelligence committees have approved CIA weapons shipments to opposition fighters in Syria, allowing the Obama administration to move ahead on the stalled program, senior congressional and administration officials said Monday.

Despite ongoing “very strong concerns about the strength of the administration’s plans in Syria and its chances for success,” the House committee reached consensus “after much discussion and review,” Chairman Mike Rogers (R-Mich.) said in a statement.

The infrastructure for the program, which also includes training, logistics and intelligence assistance — most of it based in Jordan — is already in place and the arms would begin to flow within the next several weeks.

You are supposed to believe..”There’s a lot of controversy around the
sale of web surveillance devices to governments that are known for
violating fundamental human rights”

Unless it is the US government/NSA? Then violation of fundamental human rights is just hunky dory and not worth mentioning.

The piece would then have you believe that it was the governments of these nations that was using these devices. But, was it?

“In Iran, for instance, six active devices have been spotted on the networks of Internet service provider (ISP) Max Net, and on the networks of the Information Technology Company, which is managed by the country’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology.

In Sudan, a web-monitoring device has been discovered on the networks of the Canar Telecom ISP. In Syria, devices have been identified on the networks of state-owned Syrian Telecommunications Establishment.

In addition, Blue Coat products have also been spotted in countries that are subject to more limited US sanctions, such as Côte d’Ivoire, Iraq, Lebanon, Liberia, and Zimbabwe”

All nations mentioned are ones that the one world order/ imperial power have an interest in spying on.

The context for this saying is the conforming oppression of society upon the unique individual."Humanity is the worst obstacle to it's own higher learning. More then anything else that might be cited (such as language skills or imaginative facilities) this is what makes our species unique. We are encouraged by society to serve and perpetuate the given order, not the higher order of evolutional striving"

With some help from Anon's links in the previous post. Thanks Anonymous, who I still wish had a name.....Just the highlights

"United States needs to determine an endgame in Syria before it takes further military action in the beleaguered country"

"Escalated involvement in Syria by the U.S. military would lead to “a full-throated, very, very serious war.”

"When asked what if anything the U.S. should do to topple President Bashar al-Assad's regime, Mattis said the United States must first consult with regional powers to determine a framework under which to operate before engaging militarily"

“Then we need to be very clear about our military end state and
political end state. Otherwise you'll invade a country, pull down a
statue, and say, 'Now what do we do?'” Mattis said"

"The Obama administration has been reluctant to enter another military
engagement, but announced in June that it would provide military support
to start rebel fighters after it determined al-Assad’s forces had used
chemical weapons - a red line that President Barack Obama warned the
regime not to cross"

The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Gen. Martin Dempsey, told a
Senate panel Thursday that he has military options for Syria -- should
the president ever give the order. That order might come if Assad's
chemical weapon stockpiles are in danger of falling into the wrong
hands. U.S. troops are training for that, and we went along.

About 1,500 paratroopers dropped out of the night sky from an
altitude of just 800 feet, bringing with them nearly 190,000 pounds of
equipment. They were the first of some 4,000 soldiers from the 82nd
Airborne Division parachuting into an exercise designed in part to
prepare for the worst in Syria.

After seizing an
airfield in the woods of North Carolina, they launched a helicopter
assault on a compound where, for purposes of this exercise, chemical
agents were believed to be stored. Their mission: get to the chemicals
before they fall into the hands of terrorists who would use them against
Americans.

Maj. Gen. John Nicholson is commander of
the 82nd. "As we look at the evolving situation -- Syria and other
places around the world -- we're preparing to deal with the reality of
securing chemical weapons," he said.

Prepping to secure 'chemical weapons'

"Mattis cautioned that setting up a no-fly zone would be a complicated and costly endeavor that is not a pragmatic military solution in a conflict where most of the violence is occurring on the ground""The retired general also said the administration’s plan to supply arms to the rebels is not without risk, as the weapons could get into the wrong hands. But that risk can be mitigated by thorough training, employing the secret services of surrounding countries and using U.S. special ops to monitor the situation"

Larken Rose, the author of The Most Dangerous Superstition,
joins us today on the program to explore the linkages between statism
and religion. Is a belief in governmental authority analogous to
religious belief? Or is it simply a religious belief in and of itself?
If so, how best can we break the news to the dogmatic adherents of the
religion of government that their god doesn’t exist?

He pointed out that the peace initiative of the Caucasus Emirate to halt military operations in heartland Russia was perceived by Moscow as a weakness, not as an act of goodwill.

Russian invaders and their minions intensified the persecution of Muslim civilians and increased the number of civilians they kill.

In this regard, Emir Dokku Abu Usman said that from now on, there would be back strikes in Russia's heartland. At the same time, he emphasized that the operations would target the Russia's ruling regime.

Emir Dokku Abu Usman also urged the Mujahideen not to allow the Olympic games to take place in Sochi on the bones of Russian-killed Caucasians.

Abu Osman and Tim Osman? Interesting.KavKaz is linked to western intelligence and particularly to Finland.And Dokku Usman is alleged to have been an influence on Tamerlan TsarnevThat will be a story for another day. Oh yes, it will.Because the Boston ‘bombers’ weren’t connected to Russia randomly.A contention I made clear over several posts, including my initial and correct prediction that the the bombers would somehow be connected to Russia, for the purpose of and in preparation for future narratives

UPDATE BELOW: SYRIA'S "REBEL" COMMANDER HEADING TO THE USand news of a report from the "FSA" that Assad transferred chemical weapons.... (Of course this pack of lies originates in Israeli media. It does however present a very convenient lie that can be used against Syria, Lebanon &Iran)scroll down

The refugees begging is over the top. So, I will save it for last. (before updates) Along with the picture of John Kerry

“Senator, I am in favour of building a moderate opposition and supporting it,” Dempsey said. “The question whether to support it with direct kinetic strikes ... is a decision for our elected officials, not for the senior military leader of the nation.”

The use of kinetic strikes, a military term that typically refers to missiles and bombs, “is under deliberation inside of our agencies of government,” Dempsey said.

“There are a whole range of options that are out there,” Navy Adm. James Winnefeld, vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs, said of the planning for military action in Syria. “We are ready to act if we’re called on to act.”

Dempsey acknowledged in response to a question from Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Republican, that Assad’s forces have the upper hand in Syria.

“Currently the tide seems to have shifted in his favour,” the general said.

No mention of just who in Syria has been using those....Clue: NATO backed mercs

General Sir David Richards says UK may have to go to war to tackle Assad

Military chief says 'we'd have to act' if weapons fell into al-Qaeda hands

Britain 'would have to act' to stop chemical weapons stockpiles in Syria falling into the hands of al-Qaeda terrorists, the outgoing head of the Armed Forces revealed today.

One of these actions could be to implement a no-fly zone, but General Sir David Richards warned that the Government has to be prepared to go to war if it wants to limit the powers of the Assad regime.

The Chief of the Defence Staff, who retires today, said: ‘If you wanted to have the material impact on the Syrian regime’s calculations that some people seek, a no-fly zone per se is insufficient.

‘You have to be able, as we did successfully in Libya, to hit ground targets... so you would be going to war if that is what you want to do.’

And finally, the begging refugees. Sounds like a music act?Let's put our hands together for the Begging RefugeesCue screaming audience- Not trying to sound callous- But, begging refugees? Begging to have their country, homes and fellow citizens bombed to smithereens.... Psy-opSyria refugees "begging" John Kerry for no-fly zone

"We are begging you for a no-fly zone," said Jamalat Abu al-Hariri

Hariri?

"You as the U.S. government look to Israel with respect," she said. "Cannot you do the same with the children of Syria?"

That question is right on the spin target. I mean, really obvious stuff

And John Kerry’s response? He is so concerned...very concerned. He cares

"I think they are frustrated and angry at the world for not stepping
up," he said. "If I was in their shoes I would be looking for help
wherever I could find it. I share their passion and frustration for the
plight that they face on a day-to-day basis."

Mr Kerry the ‘humanitarian”If humanitarian means supporter of mass killings, that is.Yuk, ew. Check the pic out. His hand on his heart. The sincerity of it all.....

It doesn't get anymore contrived then the screaming headline and the absurd photo

Syria's top rebel ( AQ) commander is likely to visit the United States next
week, U.S.-based Syrian opposition representatives said on Thursday, and
he is expected to make a plea for speedy U.S. arms shipments.

General Salim Idriss, who leads the rebel Supreme Military Council, is expected to go to New York for meetings at the United Nations and will perhaps also visit Washington.

Mariam Jalabi of the Syrian National Coalition and a U.N. Security
Council diplomat confirmed plans for Idriss to visit the United States.

A Free Syria Army
spokesperson, Faid al-Masri, said that the Syria regime recently
transferred to shipments of chemical arms to Hezbollah in Lebanon.

According to reports on the Lebanese A-Nashra news website the
transfer occurred in the vicinity of Damascus in recent weeks, with
Iranian coordination. The reports were unconfirmed by other sources.
Recently, the Syrian regime claimed it has unearthed a rebel-owned
chemical arms stash in the Qaboun neighborhood in Damascus. (Roi Kais)

Time for another news round up. Let’s see what I was able to corral ? Going long
I can't get over how often Ireland comes up in relation to the destabilization of the Middle East.
They seem an odd affiliate on the surface, but, scratch just a bit deeper............

We have all read about many Irish MB fighting for the ‘cause’ in Syria. We are or should be aware of the Irish MB fighting in Libya. The Irish MB on the Mavi Marmara. All of them connected to the MB globalist, NATO war terror machine. I hope you have been paying attention?
So, who are these Irish troops going to be? Is this a way for the UN to surreptitiously, in their role as a NATO consort globalist organization, increase the numbers of NATO backed fighters at the border...That is certainly what I suspect.Speaking further of Golan:

What is Israel up to? Clearly the Israeli media is covering up IDF/NATO backed mercenary activity at the border with nonsensical, contradictory stories. It would make sense that activity is on the increase and is attracting more attention

IDF Spokesman Yoav
Mordechai denied that terrorists infiltrated an IDF post and shot at
soldiers on Tuesday. He said that metal thieves had crossed the border,
were shot at by the IDF and then Syrian elements returned fire

During a routine
patrol by an IDF unit, the unit observed suspects in an unmanned post in
south Golan Heights just east of the border fence.

The suspects, who turned out to be Syrian rebels, fired at the
IDF troops, which fired back. IDF troops were rushed to the scene. No
injuries were reported. The results of the IDF fire are yet unconfirmed.

President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday watched Russia's biggest military maneuvers since Soviet times, involving 160,000 troops and about 5,000 tanks across Siberia and the far eastern region in a massive show of the nation's resurgent military might.

Dozens of Russia's Pacific Fleet ships and 130 combat aircraft also took part in the exercise, which began on Friday and continue through this week. Putin watched some of the drills on Sakhalin Island in the Pacific, where thousands of troops were ferried and airlifted from the mainland.
Part of the maneuvers was intended to simulate a response to a hypothetical attack by Japanese and US forces

Sochi is also worryingly close to the north Caucasus, a predominantly
Muslim part of Russia that has been immersed in a bloody civil conflict
for two decades. Last year Russia lost 296 soldiers and civilians in the
north Caucasus, according to Caucasian Knot, a monitoring organisation,
almost as many soldiers as America lost in Afghanistan. “Imagine
holding the games in Kabul,” one American official says

Think about this?

War is .....

...THE CONTINUATION OF STATE POLICY, BY OTHER MEANS

.......A POLITICAL ACTIVITY IN WHICH VIOLENCE IS USED TO BEND THE WILL OF YOUR ENEMY TO THAT OF YOUR OWN

Stop being Manipulated by the Elites

For if you [the rulers] suffer your people to be ill-educated, and their manners to be corrupted from their infancy, and then punish them for those crimes to which their first education disposed them, what else is to be concluded from this, but that you first make thieves [outlaws] and then punish them.´ - Sir Thomas More (1478-1535)

Edward Bernays: Perception Management it is a Reality

"The conscious and intelligent manipulation of the organized habits and opinions of the masses is an important element in democratic society,"

"Those who manipulate this unseen mechanism of society constitute an invisible government which is the true ruling power of our country. . . . In almost every act of our daily lives, whether in the sphere of politics or business, in our social conduct or our ethical thinking, we are dominated by the relatively small number of persons . . . who understand the mental processes and social patterns of the masses. It is they who pull the wires which control the public mind."
